Drew Brees may miss Cowboys game***Merged***

[mldardy]

could be at a good time....Without Brees i can't see them beating us, but in the NFL you never know. The Falcons game is so HUGE. If we can get past ATL, i think 4-0 is a real possibility.

They weren't going to beat us with Brees. The Saints are not good anymore.

McCown vs Weeden

Who is the backup?

don't you watch commercials?

 

[cowboyeric8]

I thought that commercial was funny, but thought it might be some bad mojo at the same time.

 

[Zordon]

Actually, the rumor is that it's a torn rotator cuff, and he's done for the year, and maybe his career is over.

You're probably right. Sean Payton is very secretive with injury details.

you never know I'm still not counting that as an automatic win with or without Brees. It gives us a much better chance. Brees is still capable of generating points if he gets hot.

McCown vs Weeden

I will take it,their oline is not that good either.I wonder if Gregory will be ready for that game.

Sunday night football baby!

Well of course none of these are automatic wins. I'm just saying the days of going to New Orleans and playing the Saints is not as tough as it used to be. They just aren't very good anymore.

I bet the execs with the network are thrilled about this.

If we can somehow manage to beat Atlanta, which I don't think is an impossible task, then we should be able to roll into the New England game at home at a 4-0 clip and get Hardy, Gregory and RoMac back. What a huge momentum boost that would be.
We really need to beat Atlanta.

We really need to beat Atlanta.

the way to beat Atlanta is to dominate the line of scrimmage. Keep everything in front of us defensively. Stop Julio Jones at all costs. Tackle , Tackle , Tackle.

I believe he did that with the Chargers also.

 

[Stash]

Flipping between both NFLN and ESPN all day and I haven't seen anything about this news.

Profootballtalk.com just mentioned it:

[Romo_To_Dez]

Could be one game that ends up going in our favor without Brees. As long as this team can keep the record at .500 or above by the time that Romo and Dez gets back then we have a chance for a playoff run. Especially in this division.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Whomever it is will be good...Dallas is the only team with a poor backup.

I see what you did there

 

[manster4ever]

Unsubstantiated reports out right now that he might have a torn rotator cuff. Awaiting confirmation that may not come until Wednesday.

Wouldn't doubt it....did you SEE their lowlights from yesterday's loss? I felt sorry for the guy....he couldn't throw the ball down field. Something is wrong...real wrong.

 

[erod]

I don't see how we're .500 or better when Romo returns if we don't win these two games.

Manziel, Fitzpatrick, Cousins, Winston, Mariotta, and Tyrod Taylor have won games already.

With a good defense, Dallas should get through this fine.

And who in the NFC East is going to run away and hide anyway?

I think they can manage to go 4-3 or better with this team. New England and Seattle look unlikely, but they are here, which should help a little.
